This is our 3rd year staying at this house. Its always very clean. Jennifer does a great job communicating and always checks in to make sure everything is ok.
My husband and I stayed at here for a quick weekend getaway. We love the energy of downtown Delaware, and this was the perfect spot to enjoy it all. Great location, beautifully decorated and comfortable apartment, and incredibly nice and thoughtful host!
This place is exceptionally clean & located steps away from downtown Delaware. The owners are very responsive and helpful with any questions I had about the community. I can't wait to stay again.

About the host
Hosted by JENNIFER
Husband and wife real estate team, loves the community of Delaware, Ohio. Want to share a little glimpse of what the Mid-West is like by opening this beautiful Victorian 2nd story home with other who appreciate great history, wonderful food, and fellowship with family and friends.
Why they chose this property
It is a rapidly growing community, close to Columbus, that has its own treasures to offer. Birth place of one our our Presidents-Rutherford B. Hayes, home of one leg of the triple crown of harness racing-the iconic Little Brown Jug, home of Liza Minnelli's dad, Stage and film director Vincent C. Minelli and much more!
What makes this property unique
Great second floor flat, all newly refurbished right in the heart of downtown. Walk out the front or back door to dining and entertainment. Lots of character, history, fun! Great for couples' romantic getaways, or family vacays! Sleeps 6 comfortably with 1 king, 1 queen, and queen sofa sleeper. Full kitchen, but great restaurants just footsteps away. Perfect for families checking out local colleges, professionals, or for those who might need a Carrie Bradshaw-esque night away for herself or her friends.
Premier Host
They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
